Its an ASUS Motherboard with a 16x PCI-E slot that my current card is in. And that other card you suggested looks nice. I might get it instead.

Not bad, should get you high settings in the games you listed. Hopefully someone who owns an 8600 will give you their opinion. Although, for the money, I would go with an X1950PRO.

Someone told me that those type of cards wouldnt work with my Motherboard. I cant remember who. Will it?

[QUOTE="Dark_Spartan192"]OK, I'll check out some 8800 GTS online. And I'm glad I dont need a sound card, they get pricy.firefly026
If you're a US resident, newegg would be the best site to purchase from.

Unfortunately I live in Canada so that rules out newegg.

OK the 8800 GTS runs at about $350 max so I dont know about that. What about this? http://www.icct.ca/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1607&sid=9ced704a7ce13f6181eefc75c3d5b3ad

My current system is ok for playing most older games such as Halo 2, Halo, C&C and stuff but if I plan to play some much newer games (which I do) I definately need a new video card. Also I may be getting another 1GB of RAM from a friends PC soon. Here are my current specs:

OS Name Microsoft® Windows VistaTM Home Premium
OS Version 6.0.6000
CPU Name Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6420 @ 2.13GHz
Video Adapter
Name NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
Video Processor GeForce 7300 GT
Manufactory NVIDIA
DAC Type Integrated RAMDAC
Memory Size 256MB
Video Mode 1440 x 900 x 4294967296 colors
Current Refresh Rate 74Hz
Driver Version 7.15.11.6222
Total RAMMemory 2046MB
160GB HDD 7800RPM
No Sound Card
20" Acer Widescreen

So I'm looking at a new video card for games like Bioshock and Oblivion. Also do I need a sound card for a 2 speaker setup? I really don't want to pay more than $250 but $300 max. Thanks
